Wednesday 20 April 1836

This 24 hours moderate breeses and cloudy weather
wind from the NE^d saw a strange sail PM took
in all the studingsails and run under easy sail
Latt^d 36.53 N Long 15.34 West
In watching this morning for a meridian alt^d, she
kept clouded well I thought Jehovah could cause those
clouds to disperce but still I do nont look for it nor
expect it but the clouds cleared away just time
anough for me to git a good alt^d now may I not
thank God from my heart just as much as if
they where cleared away personly for me I do praise
God for it and man takes away my joy In the everning
many came to prayers read the 8^th chapt of Luke
with a surmon on the joy of a christain and we
sung three hymns M^r Richards and myself exhorted
the people to give up thier sins and come to Christ
for pardon we both prayed and hope in God to
see a good rought among the people
